Default Wiper delay

Recently upgraded my wipers to have the delay. I can't seem to find in my books where to mount the box so, I thought of turning to the experts but, couldn't find any. (Not sure what one looks like) I figure, if anybody knows, they are on here somewhere.

So, where does the delay box mount on a 69?

Do you have an original Ford delay box with the switch for it or do you have an aftermarket delay box? I don't think you can use the stock '69 wiper switch with the original Ford delay box.

I have an origonal Ford box. It came as the switch, box and a short harness that my origonal harness plugs into. The harness from the switch to the box is only 6"?..so it has to mount somewhere close but I'm not seeing exactly where.

IIRC, the wiring pictorial shows it anchored to the lower edge of the dash behind and below the switch.

Well, I got it mounted. I don't think it's in the correct location though. I found a hole about an inch to the pass side of the flasher clamp that I put it in. My flasher won't go in the clamp now but, it's just been hanging there for years now, so that's not a big deal. Never thought I'd say i but....I'm hoping for a light rain now so I can drive with the new delays. It was a real pain to keep turning them on in a light rain before. (especially with no retractable belt)

now....what to work on next???
